A video showing two teens from south Fort Myers fighting sparked outrage across Southwest Florida.

It happened outside of their school bus - was recorded and posted online - and in the video, you do not see the bus driver come to aid in the situation.

We learned there are multiple fight videos similar to this one that have been posted within the last year, but some students and staff said it isn't a true representation of what goes on.

In a cursory online search of fights at South Fort Myers High School, we found four videos posted within the last year.

Still, those who know this place best insist this is a safe school.

The videos can be hard to watch - and for some people - hard to look away.

"There are quite a few fights here," said Sebastian Hendryx, South Fort Myers High School senior. "Well that's gonna be expected with as many phones as everybody has, I mean there are kids that walk around with more than one phone."

Hendryx notes that there are more than two people in them.

"Last fight we had here was a couple - like three on three - and then there was the one off the bus and there was a one-on-one here within three weeks," he said.

With more than 2,000 kids walking the halls everyday, it is a trend that the high school staff would like to end.

It's not a bad school in anyway… This is the best one so far that's why I still go here," said Hendryx.

The Lee County School District said the video remains under review, without indicating what the substitute driver was doing at the time of the fight.

The driver was responsible for monitoring 55 children remaining on the bus, as well as the bus itself.
